St. Matthew Passion, Bach

Generally, I do not vote to see a performance more than once: there's too many others that I want to see. For Jonathan Miller's interpretation of Bach's St. Matthew Passion, I made an exception.

To begin, the music is sublime, and without doubt the performers in this ensemble are top-notch. The power of this presentation is escalated by making the chorus and soloists also actors. Thus, it moves from being a static oratorio to a shifting, moving opera of the highest caliber.

Highly recommend.
